Augusta Bulletin Q1

The launch of our first ezine in September was a great success and we had good feedback from many of our investors who were delighted to receive a regular update on the progress of their investments.

Our German portfolio, in line with overall German growth, has a total asset value which is on a rising trend to date.  In addition the properties collectively have enjoyed a 4.5% increase in their valuation since their original purchase.  Put into context against overall  performance of German property, we are pleased with the increase.  Click here to download IPD German annual property index.

We believe it is our active asset management of our portfolio which has contributed to the increasing valuations.  However we also see that the real estate market in general is lagging behind the German economy by about 12 months and that there is still more capital growth to be gained from many of our syndicates.

We are currently investigating a model that will allow investors to hold on to their investments where there is more potential capital growth and at the same time generate an on-going income stream.  We will be in communication with all investors shortly as to how this will work in real terms.

Our portfolio currently under management has a balanced diversity comprising of a mix of office, retail and medical space.  The portfolio is generating a strong, positive cash flow from surplus rents which is rolling up inside the companies for the investors benefit.  

Our purchasing team has been in a position to benefit from the general economic climate and has managed to acquire properties at keen prices with comparatively high yields.  Our policy of active asset management combined with the diversity of the portfolio has ensured that we are continuing to deliver capital growth for our investors. 

We are currently managing a property portfolio of €70 million with a lettable area in excess of 40,000 m².    View our map to see where the assets we manage are located:
